With his elegant suits and trademark round black glasses, Philip Johnson - a witty, wealthy, and well-connected architect - was for many years the most powerful figure in the society and politics of his profession. This impressively illustrated book traces his seven decades of larger-than-life influence, innovation, and controversy in the realm of architecture and beyond. Hundreds of images and documents, many published here for the first time, trace the remarkable life and career of a true legend. The book draws on The Philip Johnson Papers at the Museum of Modern Art and the Getty Research Institute, which have provided unprecedented access to clippings, unpublished statements, speeches, reviews, and commentaries on Johnson's architectural projects and photographs, together with his wide-ranging correspondence.

This volume of selected works displays the sweeping range of that work over the past 25 years; consisting of public and private parks, plazas, campuses, and waterfronts and attests to the extraordinary level of design excellence that has defined his international reputation and that of his studio. Working in the margins of the city grid, scraps of land and post-industrial waterfronts, his unique fusion of nature, culture and process have produced vibrant public spaces, urban miracles both large and small, provocative and sublime, and has established himself as a leader in his field and champion of the sustainable and livable urban environment. His award-winning and iconic designs can be found in Dallas? Main Street Garden, Cleveland?s Perk Park, Tampa?s Curtis Hixon Park, Tokyo?s Gate City and World Trade Centers in Osaka and Guiyang, China.
